Specifications change at generation boundaries, not every model year. Two cars four years apart often take the identical oil, filter, and battery. | Generation | Model years | Body style | Engines | Oil | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | WL (5th generation) | [2022-2025](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/grand-cherokee/2022-2025) | Mid-size 2-row SUV (Giorgio-derived platform) | 3 | 0W-20 | | WK2 (4th generation) | [2012-2021](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/grand-cherokee/2012-2021) | Mid-size 2-row SUV | 5 | 0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-40 | ## About the Jeep Grand Cherokee The Jeep Grand Cherokee is Jeep's mid-size, unibody flagship SUV, and the 2012-2025 window covers two very different generations plus a messy handoff year. 2L supercharged Trackhawk performance flagships from 2012 and 2018 respectively. It earned a reputation for comfort and off-road ability (Quadra-Lift air suspension, Quadra-Drive II) alongside a rap sheet of electrical and recall headaches, a Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) that could kill the fuel pump relay and stall the engine, a monostable 8-speed shifter that let cars roll away because drivers didn't feel it click into Park, and (on the EcoDiesel) a cracked-EGR-cooler recall layered on top of the wider FCA/VM Motori diesel-emissions settlement. 6L only. 0L turbo-four 4xe plug-in hybrid rated around 25 miles of EV range. Jeep dropped the HEMI V8 from the 2-row Grand Cherokee after the 2023 model year, leaving just the Pentastar and 4xe for 2024-2025 (the inline-six "Hurricane" that replaced the V8 elsewhere in the Stellantis lineup did not come to the 2-row Grand Cherokee in this window). The WL's early years brought their own recalls: a steering intermediate shaft that could disconnect, rear coil springs that could detach while driving, and, on 4xe models, a serious high-voltage battery fire recall that told owners to park outside. Across both generations the 12V battery lives in the cabin, not the engine bay (under the front passenger seat on WK2; split between a main battery under the driver's seat and a small auxiliary start-stop battery under the passenger seat on WL), which trips up a lot of first-time DIYers expecting to pop the hood. ## Jeep Grand Cherokee by model year - [2025](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/grand-cherokee/2025) - [2024](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/grand-cherokee/2024) - [2023](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/grand-cherokee/2023) - [2022](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/grand-cherokee/2022) - [2021](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/grand-cherokee/2021) - [2020](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/grand-cherokee/2020) - [2019](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/grand-cherokee/2019) - [2018](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/grand-cherokee/2018) - [2017](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/grand-cherokee/2017) - [2016](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/grand-cherokee/2016) - [2015](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/grand-cherokee/2015) - [2014](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/grand-cherokee/2014) - [2013](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/grand-cherokee/2013) - [2012](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/grand-cherokee/2012) ## Sources - [Jeep Garage forum, "WL V8 no longer an option in 2 Row Grand Cherokee"](https://www.jeepgarage.org/threads/wl-v8-no-longer-an-option-in-2-row-grand-cherokee.241866/) - [Autoevolution, "2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Drops 5.7L HEMI V8, Grand Cherokee L Still Has It"](https://www.autoevolution.com/news/2023-jeep-grand-cherokee-drops-57l-hemi-v8-grand-cherokee-l-still-has-it-207348.html) - [Car and Driver, 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Hybrid specs](https://www.caranddriver.com/jeep/grand-cherokee-4xe-2022) - [NHTSA press release, Jeep Wrangler/Grand Cherokee 4xe high-voltage battery "park outside" recall](https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/park-outside-recall-jeep-wrangler-phev) - [NHTSA recall 23V-352, steering intermediate shaft](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V352-5968.PDF) - [NHTSA recall 23V-413, rear coil spring detachment](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V413-6565.PDF) - [Jeep Garage forum, WL ESS (Stop/Start) auxiliary battery location thread](https://www.jeepgarage.org/threads/grand-cherokee-wl-ess-stop-start-system-battery-location.245932/) - [Cabral CDJR, How to Change the Battery on a Jeep Grand Cherokee (2025 model, under passenger/driver seat)](https://www.cabralchryslerjeepdodge.com/blog/how-to-change-the-battery-on-a-jeep-grand-cherokee) - [Fontana CDJR, Jeep Grand Cherokee Oil Type & Capacity Guide (2011-2026)](https://www.fontanacdjr.com/service-department/service-and-parts-tips/jeep-grand-cherokee-oil-type/) - [Reddit r/GrandCherokee, 2025 GC losing 5.7/3.6, 4-cyl turbo/4xe only discussion](https://www.reddit.com/r/GrandCherokee/comments/1cexvv9/2025_gc_losing_57_36_engines/) Specifications vary with engine option, production date, and market.
